Saint Seiya: Movies 1 & 2

Saint Seiya is Back - US Release!
Saint Seiya is back! Remember when ADV stopped releasing Saint Seiya and got to volume 12, episode 60 back in 2005? Well fans were in uproar and while the episodes 1-60 have been re-released in collections and box sets, the later episodes were never released. This was deemed a combination of Saint Seiya not having the fanbase of South America and certain European countries like Italy, as well as just bad management such as licensing only half a show which makes it harder to renegotiate a good deal for the remaining.

Anyway luckily for fans, Discotek's (Eastern Star) have added Saint Seiya to it's now huge catalogue of classic shows. They have licensed all 4 of the original movies from the 80's which fit nicely into the TV series and give great side stories. I believe Discotek chose these movies as a way to gauge the plausibility of licensing the whole TV show, after all, they licensed Fist of the North Star movie first then the TV series when sales were deemed extremely...

Two formulaic Saint Seiya short films. But still fun
If you like Shonen battles or Saint Seiya they are worth a watch. They follow the Saint Seiya formula to T
